For Atletico Madrid (Madrid Sports Club) coaches can accept Tanhualang, who won third place in La Liga this season, club chairman Enrique Cerezo said it was difficult to agree with, and even believed that this season was a bad season.

In an interview earlier, Atletico Madrid head coach Simeone (Schmoni) believed that the team is currently growing and it is difficult to narrow the gap with its top two competitors Barcelona and Real Madrid. Speaking of history, it said that Atletico Madrid has broken the monopoly of Real Madrid and Barcelona twice in the 21st century, and has also been the runner-up in the La Liga twice, not often only winning third place.

Javier Galan, a defender who has only transferred from Real Sociedad this season, also agrees with Simeone's statement, saying that he must cherish the achievements made this season and then strive to win the La Liga championship next season. But Enrique Cerezo completely disagrees with them: "I don't know, I think it's a disaster. In fact, we sometimes have bad luck, but sometimes we do play badly."

He added in an interview: "I feel that the third place in La Liga is our basic expectation every year, and it also means that we have nothing to celebrate. Or don't describe it as a disaster, but it is really not good enough."

Atletico Madrid signed new players such as Valvarez, Garland, and Gallagher this season, but almost played until the beginning of last month. Because they were eliminated in the Champions League and the Copa del Rey, they have implemented the four majors this season. Currently, there is a 12-point difference between Barcelona and Barcelona, ​​which won the championship in La Liga.
